This Summer’s Issue covers how to answer the inevitable question “What Do I Bring?” for your upcoming BBQs. Check out the profile’s below and identify which party guest you are. Then, check out the full article in this month’s issue to find out what you should bring:

The Host!

Guests of the Early Persuasion
Being on time is one thing to be appreciated, but coming early means that you will be put to work.

Guests By the Book
These guests usually start their sentence with “but the evite said…” These lovely people show up at the written party time—on the dot.

CP Time Folk (you were thinking it, so I had to say it)
They don’t mean to be late, but they just can’t seem to make it in the door on time. They’re not necessarily unreliable, but you might want to give them something other than the main dishes to bring.

The Party Starters (or so they think they are …)
These wonderful people seem to think the party doesn’t start until they get there. (Sidebar: They are also the ones who call you at the barbecue’s start time asking (1) Who’s already there and (2) If you’ve started eating yet).

Pit-Stoppers
These people are just swinging through from function to function, but this still doesn’t mean they have to show up empty-handed.

Stragglers and Non-Committals
These are guests that you never count on actually showing up, so their contributions are assigned as such.

We want to hear from you!

Which party guest are you? What can your friends count on you bringing to the party?
